Gilbert I. "Buddy" Low Scholarship Program
"When I got to SFA, I did well because of the quality education I received from my teachers in San Augustine. I had a job on campus and did pipeline work—hard, hot work—and saved during the summers to pay for my education. I wanted to help kids like me who really couldn't afford to go to college be able to go to SFA and concentrate on their studies."
—Buddy Low '54

"We (Ed and I) recognized the need and were able to help. It's a wonderful thing to invest in something that will be around forever."
— the late Gwen Cole
